To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, TQEGINALD BRANDON Jurrnnr, a citizen of. the United States, residing l-lyesville, in the county of Guernsey and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Combined f hade-lpracket and Curtain-Pole Supports, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a combined shade bracket and curtain pole support, and it con sists in the novel construction of the bracket adapted to receive and hold a lace curtain.

The primary object of the invention resides in the novel arrangement of the teeth or spurs carried by a portion of the bracket to support a lace curtain.

Another object of the invention to provide a device of this character whereby the bracket may be readily adjusted and applied to windows of different widths.

it further object of the invention is to provide a novel device of this character that is simple in construction, ellicient in practice, and one which can be manufactured and sold at a comparatively low cost.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the details of construction and in the arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

These and other objects may be attained by means of the construchonillustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure l is a perspective view of my new and useful improved bracket having the parts assembled and applied to the window casing for use. 1* 2 is an elevation partially shown in section fully illustrating the manner and means for attaching the same to the casing, and Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of one of the adjustable sections of the bracket.

Referring to the drawing for a more particular description of the same, A denotes the top of the window casing and B the supports on which is mounted a bracket 1, comprising two parallel adjustably connected sections 2 and 3, preferably made of strap metal and arranged. at their adjacent ends to overlap, said ends being provided. with loiiigitudinally disposed slots it. Each of said sections of the bracket is provided with a rivet or bolt 5, passing through the slot in the opposing arm or body portion of the bracket for permitting the parts thereof to be relatively adjusted one to the other for increasing or diminishing the length or width of the bracket, as desired, to adapt it to the window to which it is to be applied. The said sections each comprise a body portion 6 having integrally disposed attaching elements 7. The body portion (Sis provided along the top edge thereof with vertically disposed spurs or teeth 8, adapted to support a lace curtain or the like. The attaching elements 7 are ozfset inwardly by means of the member 9. The said attaching elements are provided with angularly disposed hooked ends 10 and adapted to be hooked over the supports B for securing the bracket to the window casing. The attaching ele ments 7 are further provided with apertures 11, for supporting a shade roller, designated by reference numeral 12.

Numeral 13 designates an auxiliary bracket for supporting a curtain pole when it is not desired to use the teeth 8.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, the construction and mode of operation of the invention should be clearly understood without a further extended description.

Changes in form, proportions and minor details of construction may be made within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new, is

1. In a combined curtain pole and shade roller bracket, the body thereof composed of two parallel sections, with the adjacent ends overlapping and made adjustable one upon the other each with its outer end bent to form an apertured attaching element, the latter being inwardly and rearwardly offset from the parallel sections and provided with angularly disposed hooked ends and teeth disposed integrally with the parallel sections for supporting a lace curtain.

2. In a combined curtain pole and shade roller bracket, the body thereof composed of two parallel sections, with the adjacent ends overlapping and made adjustable one upon the other each with its outer end bent to form an apertured attaching element and serving as a support for a curtain pole, said attaching element being inwardly offset from the parallel sections and provided with an Intestimony whereof I affix my signature gularly disposed hooked ends, the" latter in presence of two Witnesses.

being formed integral with the said attzr'ching elements, teeth disposed along the top REGINALD BRANDON JEFFERY edge of said parallel sections for supporting a Witnesses:
